standing in the shadows/the man I used to be

I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you.

In a room without a window, in the corner I found truth.

  1. Joy Division? Trying to remember. I think that was one of their lyrics.

  2. Alas, both the title and content originate from two separate artists yet refer to the same individual.

  3. Shadowplay by The Killers
    To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you

    The other I’m unsure…All I keep hearing in my head is “Standing in the shadow of love, waiting for the heartache to come!”

  5. Alas, that is incorrect. The title of this particular post is inclusive of two lines of music from the same song.

  7. It’s all from the same song. The Killers, yes, but they’re covering Joy Division. I can’t decide who I think it refers to. Someone who’s on a mission. Like Ben? Someone who has had to give up an old identity for a new one. Perhaps Locke? There’s also a timelessness to it that makes me think of Jacob.

  8. Apologies, and a clarification. The full lyric in the title is “standin’ in the shadows the man I used to be,” which should assist with song verification.

    I am simply not apt to post a word in incomplete form.

    Further, I would like to clarify that there are two very different songs in play within the title and post.
